"Agrippa, although Pliny calls him a man for whom the rough life was preferable to the triumphant softness of his century, he was one of the most exquisite lovers of the fine arts in the history of the civilized world. He purchased many artistic masterpieces in the East; to his aedility Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa was elected aedile in 33 BCE was responsible for the reconstruction of a large part of Rome, which he had found in bricks and left in marble. (chap. 1, p. 19)"
